It's not summer here, but I'll drink margarita's any time. 
But here's a nice (if I do say so myself) summer drink that won me an Appleton's cocktail competition a few years back:
Apple Mule (I'm good at making/designing cocktails, but terrible at naming them)
45ml Appleton's Rum
30ml Apple Vodka (Bicardi Apple works too)
Ginger Beer
4 decent size mint leaves
1/2 a lime
Ice
Slice the lime into 3 or 4 pieces and muddle with the mint in a boston glass. Fill the boston with ice then add the rum and vodka. Shake, then pour into a 450ml highball or pilsner glass. Top with ginger beer. Drink!
